If you can, put some screw in studs in there. There's a reason they stopped using pressed in studs. Pressed in != stay in [&:]Besides, if you put some good 3/8 studs and rockers on now, you have them for later on when you put better heads on etc

Yeah, those will work. The rails are the part of the tip that goes over the side of the valve to keep the rocker arm aligned. One thing you should check, if the valves were replaced, is the clearance between the spring retainer and the rails. If they're the original valves, never mind :-)

BTW, have those heads been gone through? That first valve stem tip looks pretty hammered. Also, you need a specific nut for those studs, it has a bevel to match the one on the stud.
